Will be ready soon... Monorail track just got in, 9V track coming from Germany, extra pieces for new Coast Guard station should be in next week... and we have a harbour xmas gift for my 6 year old, and the Coast guard for my 9 year old. I have one new table section built and the other three should be done by the weekend. Then they have to be painted and left to dry... then the picture will come... check my brickshelf folder for updates Folder Madfrog67 Visit My Website

You're welcome....

I purchase current and new sets from local stores or S@H and sometimes ebay I purchase discountinued set from Ebay or Bricklink, depending on price... just got the city Harbour for $60.00 on ebay I purchase pieces for MOC's or for replacement off Bricklink, just bought 40 pieces of 9v straight track @ $2.29 a piece. I sometimes purchase parts from Ebay (rarely) just got 70 pieces for monorail for $120.00 was cheaper the Bricklink

Having built 3 Lego cities for my boys and the 4th one is going to be ready for Xmas, Here is what I have learned: 1 - Give yourself a scope for your project : Modern town, mixed europeen, our old style 2 - determine what main Lego elements will be used : ie: 9V train, RC train, Monorail, City Kits, Creator Kits, Custom Mocs etc. 3 - Determine the size of space or room you will use 4 - What dimension will the displays be 5 - **** Get Track designer or something similiar **** 6 - Plan it out in TD or whatever 7 - Make a budget - Our new lego layout has cost me close to $400.00 just in wood, paint, extra track for 9V and Monorail 8 - Decide what road plate you will use = New Grey, New green ( hard to find) , Old green, old Grey 9 - Purchase Big sets early... IE police dept, Fire, Hospital, because if you wait they will double in price on ebay our bricklink 10 - Don't let anyone see the bills.........ahahahahah Good luck... here is our proposed 4th version of our layout vs old layout Marc

Thank you very much Lux... Marc

Glad to see you back, hopefully all will be patient... in waiting for their requests.. I remind all, that those artist who perform these requests for custom work do so on their time... And you know what they say " time is money" so if you are too anxious to get your request done please feel free to find someone who will charge you for their service... Just a reminder to those whom have complained....

Geeze, going back to school... do I get extra credit for my review of set 7945 I guess if their is room I am in....

Well I have 2 boys, one is 9 and the other is going on 6. They both love playing with lego and have access to all the family LEGO. The bricks are sorted in several bins/rubbermade containers. I have a bin for SPECIAL pieces, one for Doors and Windows, one for wheels, one for plates, one for angle/wedge pieces, one for long 1X? pieces , one for short 1X? pieces,and one for 2X? bricks, and one for minifigs, and one for technics/mindstorm stuff, and finally minifig accessories. The rules are simple: 1 You don't destroy what is built by someone else, 2 you put the legos back in the approriate bin, and you treat the legos with respect... ie they both know how expensive they are because they see the prices in the catalogues that come to the house... and the last rule is No amputations to minifigs... other then that I give them free range... Every birthday, Xmas they ask for more....

Fair enough, I will work on my brickshelf folder this weekend in order to have the pictures fixed thanks for the heads up... Marc like the tutorial
